These beautiful resin-dipped rings are carved from the tagua nut, also known as vegetable ivory. Each ring is unique. Various colours.
Ring size is approximate due to the chunky design.
Vegetable ivory is naturally white with a fine marbled grain structure. It can be dyed; dyeing often brings out the grain. It is still commonly used in buttons, jewelry, and artistic carving. Many vegetable ivory buttons were decorated in a way that used the natural tagua nut colour as a contrast to the dyed surface, because the dye did not penetrate deeper than the very first layer.
